Mark Zaccaria on Tax Reform

 

 


FairTax ends complexity that requires entire industry

Question topic: Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self interest into the fairest and most productive economic system there is, and are the key to national prosperity.

Zaccaria: Strongly Agree.

Question topic: Briefly list political or legislative issues of most concern to you.

Zaccaria: Taxation: We take too much money away from those who productively earn it. Also, our tax code has become so complex that an entire industry has grown up to help us find our way through it. This is especially egregious for businesses which are thus forced to sustain unnecessary overhead to comply. The Solution? Flat Tax or Fair Tax rates and simplicity.

Eliminate the estate tax; cut spending to match tax cuts

Q: Do you support the elimination of the federal estate tax?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support requiring the federal budget to be balanced each year?

A: Yes.

Zaccaria adds, "Fees and taxes for income purposes should also be dramatically reduced, with the possible exception of Customs Duties. We should compensate for any revenue reductions that result from this policy by aggressively lowering expenditures."
